REPRISE WEIRDNESS !!
From the late Sixties to the mid Seventies, Reprise Records, based at Warner Bros. Records in Burbank, was without a doubt the coolest and weirdest major label in the world. Or in the universe for that matter.

Fathom if you can all four of these maniacs being on the same record label at the same time, a label started by Frank Sinatra, no less!

ALICE COOPER
TINY TIM
FRANK ZAPPA
CAPTAIN BEEFHEART

Even more unbelievable; all four artists were also featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

Cloud 8 Music owner Bucks Burnett actually worked at Reprise Records in 1985. His store in Dolly Python always carries mint vintage pressings by these misfits.

In 1974 Cloud 8 Music owner Bucks Burnett snuck into a Queen sound check and met the entire band including Freddie.
40 years later in 2014 he went backstage as Brian May’s personal guest. In short, he is a lifelong Queen fanatic.
The Cloud 8 location in Dolly Python has literally every Queen album ever released on vinyl, with variations such as import, promo and bootleg copies. There is simply no other store in Dallas as Queen crazy as Cloud 8.
All LPs are in near mint condition. If you saw the band turn American Airlines Center upside down recently, Dolly Python is the only place where you will find a Queen collection suited for royalty. Get some killer Queen!

Who And What We Are.

In November of 2005, Proprietor Gretchen Bell signed the lease on an empty space which has grown into a 3,800 sq ft. vintage emporium. Over the years we have become a multi award winning vintage store.

At Dolly Python 1/3 of the store is filled with hand selected clothing from the 1940's-1980's for both women and men. Legendary Dallas vintage store Ahab Bowen has joined ranks here at Dolly Python since it's closing in 2011. Dolly consigns Ahab's clothing, both new and never seen.

We carry a large selection of vintage boots ranging from cowboy to motorcycle and combat boots for women and men. We also have a variety of dress shoes for both men and women.

Adorning our cases are loads of fabulous vintage jewelry pieces from every decade. We also feature Beth's Addiction and Savage Bones and Stones among our jewelry selections. Erik Yang of Lush Life Antiques also consigns his vast jewelry collection with us. He offers a selection of Native American turquoise, Art Deco, contemporary and much more.

GUY STEELE is our vintage music expert. His space includes a carefully organized and hand selected variety of vintage vinyl, 8 tracks, posters and other rock memorabilia.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nancy Lloyd is available for Tarot readings to the public. Each reading costs $20 and is based on a first come, first serve basis.

The store itself umbrellas over 30 different antique dealers and consignors, who restock and edit their booths almost daily. We love, carry and have quite a lot of old photos, cameras, memorabilia of all kinds, strange art and old paintings, velvet paintings, black light posters, pottery, gilded frames, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro, Americana, religious, year books and other items from institutions of learning, medical, military, ephemera, mid-century, furniture, lamps of all kinds, strange dolls or just their parts, vintage fabrics, quilts, mirrors, books, taxidermy, folk art, antiques, camp and kitsch, collectibles, oddities, advertising, political, all kinds of glassware, postmortem, fraternal items, housewares, and childhood nostalgia from every decade. The list goes on and on. Everything here is more or less historic and no two things are alike in our store.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL SALES.

The purpose of this website is to inform the viewer and potential customer of our vision and to provide them with a small window of what one would find when visiting our store.
